Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum value is when cos x = 1

So it is -2 + 4(1) = 2.

Minimum value, when  cos x = -1:

= -2  + 4(-1) = -6.

Answer:

The maximum 2 is reached when x=2pi,4pi, and 6pi.

The minimum -6 is reached when x=pi, 3pi,and 5pi.

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's first look at cos(x) on interval (0,21].

How many rotations is that? Does it at least contain 1 full rotation? If it contains one full rotation that means all the values from -1 to 1 (inclusive) are tagged? If it doesn't contain a full rotation, we might have to dig a little deeper.

So we know x=0 isn't included and that's when cosine is first 1,but this doesn't mean 1 won't be hit later.

Let's figure out the number of rotations:

21/(2pi)=3.3 approximately

This means we make at least 3 rotations.

So this means we definitely will have all the values from -1 to 1 tagged (inclusive).

Now let's look at whole function.

f(x) = -2 + 4 cos x

-2+(-4) to -2+4 will be the range of the function

So the minimum is -6 and the maximum is 2.

So the min occurs when cos(x)=-1 and the max occurs when cos(x)=1.

We have a little over three rotations and remember we can't include x=0.

cos(x)=1

when x=2pi (one full rotation)

when x=4pi (two full rotations)

when x=6pi (three full rotations)

We will stop here because cosine won't be 1 again until a fourth full rotation

cos(x)=-1

when x=pi (half rotation)

When x=3pi (one + half rotation)

When x=5pi (two+half rotation)

We can't include x=7pi (three+half rotation)

because this one is actually not in the interval because 3.5 is more than 3.3 .

The maximum 2 is reached when x=2pi,4pi, and 6pi.

The minimum -6 is reached when x=pi, 3pi,and 5pi.

A company establishes a fund of 120 from which it wants to pay an amount,C, to any of its 20 employees who achieve a high-perfor
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

C=120/2=60

Step by step Explanation'

To solve this problem, we will need to apply trial-and-error calculation with the binomial distribution, even though it appears like Central Limit Theorem but it's not.

For us to know the value of C , we will look for a minimum integer such that having 'n' number of high performance level of employee has the probability below 0.01.

Determine the maximum value of C, then the maximum value that C can have is 120/n

Let us represent X as the number of employees with high performance with a binomial distribution of

P =0.02( since the percentage of chance of achieving a high performance level is 2%)

n = 20 ( number of employees who achieve a high performance level)

The probability of X= 0 can be calculated

P( X= 0) = 0.98^n

P(X=0)=0.98^20

P(X=0)=0.668

P(X=1)=0.02*20*0.98^19

P(X=1)=0.272

P(X=2)=0.02^2*20*0.98^18

P(X=2)=0.053

Summation of P( X= 0)+ P( X= 1)+P( X= 2) will give us the value of 0.993 which is greater than 0.99( 1% that the fund will be inadequate to cover all payments for high performance.)

BUT the summation of P( X= 0)+ P( X= 1) will give the value of 0.94 which doesn't exceed the 0.99 value,

Therefore, the minimum value of integer in such a way that P(X >2) is less than 0.01 have n= 2

then the maximum value that C can have is 120/n

C=120/2=60
